The Undergraduate department of this Trust is not simply a department within the hospital, but should be seen as the link between the Universities and the student population who are our future. The main focus of attention of this department is to provide a good learning experience in a Trust environment, where clinical work is the priority.  This Trust has students on placment from the University of Newcastle Medical School, and works closely with both the Tees and the Wear Base Units.  The department is supported by a clinical teaching team comprising of Tutors, Nurses and Junior Medical Staff, as well as other healthcare professionals.

With this in mind we: -

• Aim to provide teaching sessions that are of a high standard.
• Will identify and provide learning opportunities that meet the learning outcomes of the curriculum.
• Will encourage students to make the most of any clinical opportunities.
• Will offer individual support and guidance to all our students.
• Will maintain open lines of communication with all relevant parties.
• Will endeavour to provide a positive learning environment, leading to potential recruits for the future.
